Two stations on Beijing Metro Line 19 tested "virtual transfer", reporters visited on the spot

Today, the first bus, the four stations such as the North Taipingzhuang Station of Metro Line 19 opened trial operations. At the same time, the Beijing rail transit operating unit launched a "virtual transfer" fare discount service at the same time. Passengers at the Taipingqiao Station between Line 19 and Fuxingmen Station of Line 1 and 2, between Line 19 Niujie Station and Line 7 Guang'anmen Inner Station, transferred to the station within 30 minutes to enjoy continuous billing discounts. This service is currently in the test stage and has not officially launched.

The so -called "virtual transfer" refers to a way to transfer the card to the station after reaching the nearby station through the ground, and then swipe the card to the destination to the destination. Earlier, the Beijing Metro had used the "virtual transfer" method. When the Fangshan Line was opened in 2010, because the Fangshan Line and other routes could not be transferred at that time, passengers to the central urban area needed to take Linkin 1 Road to Xingong Station to the Daxing Line. At that time, transfer passengers needed to swipe their cards in and out of the station at Dajiantai Station and Xintong Station, but did not carry out secondary billing.

The reporter learned that although some stations in Line 19 are close to neighboring stations, they have not transferred interchange inside. Therefore, in order to facilitate the travel of citizens, Beijing Rail Transit launched this service. It is understood that the passengers swipe, scan the code out of the two groups of stations on Line Taipingqiao Station and Line 2, and Line 2 Niujie Station and Line 7 Guang'anmen Inner Station. Later, use the same card or the same APP account in 30 minutes to transfer to the stations in the same group, and will enjoy continuous billing discounts.

How do passengers use "virtual transfer"? According to the staff, specifically, it is the first time that the fare of the trip was deducted when the card was swiped and screened the code. The difference between the total fare of the destination station in the secondary itinerary is reduced after the first itinerary fare. If there is no difference, the output fee is 0 yuan, that is, there will be no additional cost.

Experience: "Virtual Interchange" walking distance is a bit long

After the "virtual transfer" of Nijie Station and Taipingqiao Station on Line 19, how should passengers go on the ground? This morning, the reporter conducted a field visit.

Fuxing Gate-Taiping Bridge: Take 9 minutes

Fuxingmen Station is the earliest transfer station for Beijing Metro. Line 1 and Line 2 intersect here. Among them, Port B at Line 1 of Fuxingmen Station and A port A of Line 2 are located in the northeast corner of Fuxingmen Bridge, closest to the Taipingqiao Station of Line 19, with a walking distance of about 700 meters.

Real measured: After getting out of the station A from Fuxingmen Station, the reporter passed through the Chengfang Street between the South Tower and the North Tower all the way to the east. , Line 19 Taipingqiao Station is located in the sinking square on the left side. From the stairs, you need to take a passage to reach the station hall of Line 19. From Line 2 to Line 19 to enter the gate, the reporter took 9 minutes walk.

Experience: Although Chengfang Street is a small road driving, the trail is relatively flat and comfortable. The sidewalk trees planted on both sides have been some years, and even if it is sunny, it will not feel the sun. Although the distance between the two stations is long, the walking experience along the way is more comfortable. The number of passengers from Line 1 is more convenient to stop from port B.

Niujie-Guang'anmen Inn: Take 7 minutes and 40 seconds

From the map, Nijie Station D2 is recently about 300 meters apart from the port B of Guang'anmen.

Real measured: The reporter went out from the gate of Line 19, from the end of the station hall along the passage, and took two escalators to reach the D2 ground floor. After leaving the station, you can see the west along Guang'anmen Street, passing through Xuanwu Hospital and Baoguo Temple. From Line 19 to Line 7 to enter the gate, the walking time is about 7 minutes and 40 seconds.

Experience: The streets of Guang'anmen are passed between Niujie Station to Guang'anmen Station. The pedestrian trail design is relatively spacious. Also ride on the trail. During the transfer time of 7 minutes and 40 seconds, it was only 3 minutes when it was really spent on the ground, and most of the time used on the escalator and the inner channel of the station.
